First and foremost I would like to thank everyone that has been working on the Swine & Stein Oktoberfest Celebration that will take place on Saturday, October 2nd from 11a-7p here on Water Street in Gardiner. Also, I would like to thank the city council for having faith in our organization to put on such an event. More details to come next week about this huge party that will be happening in Downtown Gardiner.

I just returned to Gardiner from a 3 day retreat visiting all of the Main Street towns and cities in Maine. It was great to chat with the other managers and get some idea’s about what they are doing around the state. All the citizens of Gardiner should be proud of the wonderful downtown we have as the other managers that had never been here were amazed at Water Street and the Waterfront.
Monkitree is a fine art and craft gallery in Gardiner and you should see the amazing selection of jewelry that they have in stock right now and at unbelievable prices. You should also be aware that the their show “Plastic Fantastic” is on display through Septemeber 10th. In addition to fine art, Monkitree’s other offerings include pottery, jewelry, scarves, cards and much more.
I wholeheartedly agree with George that making Water Street a two-way road is ill conceived. As the owner of a restaurant on Water Street, I believe that we need to create more interest in and/or awareness of what is available in downtown Gardiner, but that two-way traffic on Water Street would be a disaster, especially in the winter.
Congratulations to Chuck Applebee, Director of Wastewater and Public Works, for being nominated to serve as the Maine State Director of the New England Water Environment Association.

Although I haven’t really heard that much on the issue of making Gardiner downtown open to two-way traffic, I feel compelled to speak out on this issue early because I strongly believe that to re-create the traffic pattern of the 50’s in Gardiner is summarily flawed.

With summer winding down there are still some great things happening downtown. If you have not taken a look at the waterfront park lately, be sure to as it is looking pretty amazing. After you do that make sure to take a walk down Water Street and check out some of the new business and stop by the old favorites.
